How has Rohit Sharma fared in T20 World Cup so far?
Rohit Sharma has been one of lndia's leading batters in this World Cup. After a mediocre campaign in IPL 2024 with the Mumbai Indians (MI), he began his T20 World Cup journey with a brilliant unbeaten half-century.
Chasing a modest total of 97 against the Irish side, the Men in Blue were rocked early after losing Virat Kohli cheaply. However, Rohit steadied the ship with a timely knock of 52 runs off 37 balls before being retired hurt. The right-handed batter struck four boundaries and three sixes during his knock.
However, Rohit failed to make a mark against Pakistan as he was dismissed for 13 off 12 deliveries. He tried to clear the mid-wicket fielder but holed out to Haris Rauf off Shaheen Shah Afridi's bowling. The 37-year-old batter failed to get the desired connection and couldn't clear the big ground.
Rohit Sharma will look to return to run-scoring spree when India lock horns with the USA in New York on Wednesday, June 12.
